Representation Summary:
The type of businesses currently located at West Horndon Industrial Estate are, in the main, Class B2/B1c uses with ancillary offices, occupying relatively small units. It is estimated that the redevelopment of this site for housing will lead to the displacement of around 100 businesses. We consider that the lack of choice in suitable alternatives and businesses will leave the Borough.
The development of a new Industrial Park at East Horndon Hall will provide a genuine choice for the existing businesses at the West Horndon Industrial Estate which would ensure local jobs are retained and the delivery of new housing is not undermined.
